    From worse to even more worse. M$, Intel and Nvidia. Nice buddy's:confused: We have more and more trash in the hardware division pushed out from every ODM, but software is in same league:oops:

    Isn't that why one should keep up to date the GPU drivers? They did list the update drivers that had the fix. And if one fails to do that then one can't fault Nvidia for it. Everyone needs to take some responsibility to keep their system protected and up to date as well.

    I can't agree, all the same can be true by jumping onto the latest drivers. Look how Nvidia and MS killed people's displays going to W10. Not to mention lacing their drivers with Telemetry and all sorts of other potential vulnerabilities. I can totally understand peoples apprehension to update drivers periodically.
